Sacred Dialogues for a Changing World: Exploring Texts, Traditions, and Transformation 

in honor of Somanjana Chatterjee 

SiVIC’s exciting 2026 vision is to launch a cross-cultural, interdisciplinary dialogue centered on diverse sacred texts and their interpretations. This initiative focuses on supporting existential themes, exploring insights related to futuristic growth, and fostering spiritual grounding amid chaos. How can sacred texts guide us through the challenges of our times: AI, ethics, environmental justice, sacred economy, cosmic laws, courage, and more?  

Join us in building, sharing, and partnering to create sacred thought leadership that inspires our communities and drives collective transformation.

Ongoing Series hosted by affiliates & partners  

Members regularly participate in educational events with our affiliates and partners.
